on 8/2/2008 If you dislike the way he teaches or skates, then please, refer to his technique and add some intelligent constructive criticism so we can all learn. Don't try to demean others because of their accent or nationality.

Video Transcript

"Hello my name is Dmitri Olympiev and I teach at Pines Ice Arena in Pembroke, Florida. You can reach us on the web at www.www.pinesicearena.com. This time I will introduce you to advanced spins. Now advanced spins require more speed, so we will do a three turn, crossover, swing the shoulders, step on the spinning foot and bring everything in. Now notice at the end, I do forward stroking position called “Landing Position”. With this position, we’re finishing off all jumps and spins. Now you’re probably just saw that when I did the spin, I crossed my foot, this is my position during the spin, we use this position to make the speed faster. Once again, this is Dmitri Olympiev and I’m teaching at Pines Ice Arena in Pembroke, Florida. You can reach us on the web at www.www.pinesicearena.com. And on behalf of expertviews.com, we’d like to thank you for watching."
